Maybe this is as much a game as anything, but I’ll put it here to start with, since I’m thinking of it in a Cafe Society-related way. The title explains it all. Post something you think you’re unique among Dopers (or at least Dopers who will participate) for liking. Let’s see if anyone has any truly unique likes.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes room-temperature water for drinking.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes “Top of the World” by the Carpenters.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes sausage more than bacon. 😃

Nope nope.

I prefer Shonen Knife’s cover, but the original is fine, too.

And, honestly, I’ve grown to prefer sausage…better texture…

I love almost anything Carpenters, including Top of the World…but I’ll bet I’m the only Doper who likes cream cheese and onions on my hamburgers.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes the movie **[Screen Door Jesus](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339638/)**. I also bet I’m the only person on the board who has actually seen it.

I bet I’m the only person on the board who read “The Greatest Gift” _before_ seeing the movie version ( **It’s a Wonderful LIfe** ).

Oh, come on. You’re not even trying.

I’ll bet I’m the only poster who tears up during _Volcano_.

I bet I’m the only person on the board who hates sausage _and_ is indifferent to bacon.

I like this too.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes waffles with chili peppers in their batter.

I’ll make a point to prove you wrong, as I have _yet_ to actually watch It’s a Wonderful Life. And I love to read, so… I’ll just make sure I read the book first. 😛

I’d bet I’m the only one who likes hot sauce and ranch on my sliced cucumbers.  
At once, that is.  
(People tend to like one or the other, and the ranchheads think the hot sauce is grody, while the salsa-heads can’t even fathom ranch on anything but salads)

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes slugs.

To qualify this means you must get genuinely excited when you see a slug and bonus points if you actively seek slugs when in a slug-friendly environment.

Nope…I love room-temperature water. I also keep my Pepsi Max in the pantry and drink them at room-temperature too.

My feelings on the subject are so entirely contrary to yours, it’s probably best that we never meet, as there’s a good chance that should we accidentally touch, we will annihilate each other in a sort of matter/anti-matter explosion. Except this will be a slug/anti-slug explosion. Which is pretty much the same thing, except gooier.

Salt on pancakes with syrup.

Or drinking the liquid from a jar of green olives

Nope. One of the water coolers at work only has a cold and hot spout (no room temp spout). When I use that one I fill my water bottle with 90% cold and 10% hot.

I like room-temperature water, too. Incidentally, it’s supposed to be “better” for your voice than cold water; at least that’s what voice actors tell me.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes all-dressed potato chips with plain yoghurt.

I bet I’m the only person on the board who has Gabriele’s _Schokoladeneis_ on their iPod (or other mp3 player).

I bet I’m the only person on the board who’s a big enough fan of _Mark Trail_ to have written Jack Elrod a fan letter (and got an original signed strip for my efforts!).

Just what it says. Potato chips with ‘all-dressed’ flavour…
